Senior Power Electronics Designer – Clean Energy focus
Our client is an exciting tech IC company that has developed a novel chip-based near-field wireless power transfer system. They are integrating the system into solar panels to significantly increase solar power output for residential systems.
Their non-inductive chip-based technology is designed to integrate with existing technologies and hardware to reduce costs, complexity, and power losses, including the elimination of wires, cables, and connectors. This role will work on cutting-edge technology that makes a positive impact on the environment.
They are currently looking for a senior power electronic designer with expertise in one or several the following areas:
Microinverter Power Electronic
Inverter Control Circuits
Grid-tied and off-grid microinverter standards, compliance, and regulatory challenges
The mission of this role is the design, verification, and validation of microinverters that optimize and restructure solar panel systems to the world’s largest and fast-growing clean tech platforms. This full-time role is based in Vancouver, BC, and reports directly to the VP, Research & Development.
Requirements:
Bachelor's degree in a power electronic engineering discipline
Strong foundations in power electronics: high-frequency (>1MHz) multi-phase switching converters, cycloconverters, theoretical and practical limitations of HF transformer, and controller algorithms of switching converter.
5+ years of work experience in architectural design and schematics of solar PV systems or power electronics and electrical system.
3+ years of hands-on experience in testing and verifying switching converters including microinverters.
3+ years of design experience using one of the analog/power HF circuits simulation tools.
3+ year of experience in validate and deliver advanced control algorithm for switching converters.
Their culture competes for the all-around best start-up environment: creative, educational, challenging, and united towards the positive change that our tech can create. They are looking for passionate, curious and driven folks to come in at an important growth period and help them move the technology forward in large leaps!
